A MAJOR
IN MATHEMATICS
Schreiner
University offers courses leading to the Bachelor of Arts degree
and the Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Mathematics.
The Mathematics program is designed for those students who wish
to pursue a career in business or in education. It also builds a
solid foundation for advanced study in Mathematics. Students who
wish to become teachers can use the required professional education
courses as electives in the prescribed program. French
or German is recommended as foreign language. The
major in Mathematics consists of 25 advanced hours.
For
the B.A. degree: MATH 2422, 2423, 3312, 3313, 3324, 3425. Either
4321, 4326, 4333, or 4399 must be designated as the capstone experience.
Students may choose 21-23 hours of electives. PHYS 1401 and 1402
are recommended electives.
For
the B.S. degree: MATH 2422, 2423, 3305, 3330, 3312, 3313, 3324,
3425. Either 4321, 4326, 4333, or 4399 must be designated as the
capstone experience. In addition PHYS 1401, 1402, IS 2310, 6 hours
of additional information systems, and ENGL 1302. Students may choose
16-18 hours of electives. Students
who did not enroll in MATH 2422 and MATH 2423 to satisfy their basic
Mathematics distribution requirement must schedule these courses
as part of their electives. NOTE:
If a student is not prepared to enroll in MATH 2422 and MATH 2423
in his freshman year, he should enroll in MATH 1310 or MATH 1321.
In this event the student should then enroll in MATH 2422 and MATH
2423 in sequence the next two semesters.
Students
completing MATH 1321 at Schreiner University with a grade of "C''
or better will, upon written request to the Registrar, be given
credit for MATH 1310. Students completing either MATH 2422 or a
more advanced mathematics course at Schreiner University with a
grade of ``C'' or better will, upon written request to the Registrar,
be given credit for MATH 1310 and MATH 1321. Students
who plan to major in Mathematics, Information Systems, Physics,
Chemistry, or Engineering should enroll in MATH 2422 and MATH 2423
if their background in mathematics is sufficiently good. If not,
they should enroll in MATH 1310 or MATH 1321 first. Students majoring
in Business Administration should enroll in either of these: (1)
MATH 1311, or (2) MATH 2422. If not, they should take MATH 1310
first. Students
seeking teacher certification in mathematics should consult the
Teacher Education section of this catalog for specific course selection.
Placement
in mathematics courses is based on mathematics placement assessment.
